Hide Personal OneDrive Results from Search
A simple way, though less common, is to adjust the search visibility at the user profile level. This allows you to ensure that specific users' OneDrive files are hidden from search, even within SharePoint.
Steps:
- Go to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- Under Active Users, select the user whose OneDrive you want to hide from search.
- From the user’s settings, locate Search Visibility under their profile settings.
- Set the visibility option to "Do not show in search results".
This will prevent their personal OneDrive files from appearing in search results across the organization, including SharePoint.

Hope this will help you.
I do not have permission in my organization to view or manage the Microsoft 365 admin center.
How to I prevent my own files from appearing in my SharePoint search results? I would have already searched my local and OneDrive folders first, and I do not need to see the same irrelevant results of my files when searching my company's SharePoint site.
